Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Chronic Heart Failure.
Abstract: It has been shown that transient increase in left ventricular stiffness, assessed by Doppler-derived early filling deceleration time, occurs during the first 24 to 48 hours after myocardial infarction but returns to normal within several days. It has been...
Abstract: The anemia of critical illness is a distinct clinical entity with characteristics similar to that of chronic disease anemia. Several solutions to the processes of anemia, such as blunted erythropoietin production and erythropoietin response and abnormalities...
Abstract: In patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) primary angioplasty and stent placement is a more effective and better tolerated treatment than thrombolysis, and therefore, when logistics allow, this treatment is preferred and routinely used. However,...
Abstract: The purpose of this trial was to assess whether the addition of hyperbaric oxygen to percutaneous coronary intervention can reduce clinical restenosis. Major adverse cardiac events at 8 months were found in only 1 of 24 patients (4%) who received hyperbaric...

Abstract: Uncooperative but alert on arrival, a 21-year-old suicidal man was found suddenly unconscious with agonal respirations 2 h into his Emergency Department evaluation. Initially admitted for ingesting multiple pills and self-inflicting a deep wrist laceration,...
Abstract: The prevalence and extent of vascular calcification (VC) increases rapidly with time on dialysis. There is increasing evidence that medial calcification of conduit arteries, without intimal disease, is associated with important abnormalities of vascular...
Abstract: Graft coronary artery disease (GCAD) is characterized by vascular narrowing resulting from intimal hyperplasia. Endothelin (ET)-1, derived from the vascular endothelium and macrophages, stimulates vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), which leads to...
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to test the hypothesis that intracoronary aqueous oxygen (AO) hyperbaric reperfusion reduces myocardial injury after prolonged coronary occlusion. Background. Attenuation of ischemia/reperfusion injury by the use of hyperbaric...
